Californication star finishes sex addiction rehab

ACTOR David Duchovny, who plays a woman-ising novelist on the television series Californication, has completed a rehabilitation programme for sex addiction, his attorney has said.

Duchovny, former star of the X-Files films and TV series, is married to actress Tea Leoni and they have two children.

The actor’s admission to a rehab facility for treatment of sex addiction was publicly revealed by his attorney, Stanton Stein, in late August.

In a statement, Stein said Duchovny “has successfully completed rehabilitation“.

“He is out and will very soon begin work on his new movie,” Stein said.

He declined to say where the actor had been treated or when he left the centre.

In January, Duchovny won a Golden Globe Award as best actor in a comedy for his role as Hank Moody, an oversexed single dad and novelist struggling with writer’s block.

Duchovny, 48, is set to star in a film called The Joneses scheduled for release next year.
